Which side of the plane to sit from Kunming Changshui International Airport (Kunming) to Liuzhou Bailian Airport (Liuzhou)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the dramatic transition from the high-altitude Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau to the spectacular 'forest' of limestone Karst peaks in northern Guangxi.

Yunnan Plateau Edge
Rugged, high-altitude mountain ridges visible shortly after takeoff from Kunming's high-elevation airport.
Hechi Karst Peaks
Thousands of iconic limestone 'sugarloaf' mountains that characterize the unique landscape of northern Guangxi.
Longjiang River
The turquoise waters of the Longjiang winding through deep, narrow valleys between limestone towers.
Liuzhou City Bend
The dramatic U-shaped bend of the Liu River that defines the geography of the central Liuzhou peninsula.
Sit on the left side for morning flights to enjoy the soft lighting on the Karst formations without sun glare. About 30-40 minutes into the flight, look for the abrupt change in terrain where mountains turn into sharp pillars. Keep your window shade open as you descend into LZH, as the aircraft often turns over the northern city districts.

Nanpan River Gorge
Deep canyons marking the border region between Yunnan and Guizhou provinces visible mid-flight.
Agricultural Terraces
Small-scale hillside farming plots carved into the slopes of the Guizhou-Guangxi border mountains.
High-Speed Rail Bridges
Massive infrastructure projects including bridges and tunnels of the southwest rail corridor cutting through mountains.
Liujiang Basin
The broader, flatter plains and industrial outskirts south of Liuzhou during the final approach phase.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to avoid the harsh western sun while flying east-southeast. It provides a better perspective of the vast infrastructure projects, including massive bridges, that connect this mountainous region. During descent, look for the contrast between the sharp hills and the industrial parks of southern Liuzhou.
